I considered inventing my own combination, but after reading up on Purina’s Replinimash, I feel there is no need for me to recreate the wheel! The gastric support, electrolytes, and flax are great benefits for what my horses currently need. So I just add 1 lb of Replenimash to 1 lb of my ration balancer and mix with 1.5 L of water.
While Replenimash recommends 16 oz of water for 1 lb of Mash, feeds typically needs a 2:1 water to feed ratio. And having enough water in your mash is critical to ensure you can maximize the hydration benefits for your horse(s)!
It is important to remember we don’t want to make drastic changes to our horses’ diets, especially during severe weather. However, if you are adding just 1 lb of mash and water to their regular feed, that change should not have a large impact on the horse. Creating some magic concoction with a bunch of new ingredients, on the other hand, will likely be detrimental. As a result, I prefer to add mash a week or a few days prior to a large storm event or cold snap to give them time to adjust before their body has to begin adapting to the severe weather.
All of that to say - I want to know your mash recipe! Which ingredients do you choose and why? Or are you like me and prefer a commercial product where their nutritionists do the work for you?
Cheers!
